Guo Cunxin sat in the carriage and gasped in shock.
"How could this Hu family be... so shameless?"
"It's not the Hu family, it's Hu Shiyong!" Li Chengzhi corrected.
He could see that Hu Hai was not playing hard to get, let alone acting.
Firstly, it is not necessary, and secondly, it is impossible to discuss it from Hu Baozong.
Hu Baozong was only in his early twenties and was a captain of a county. If he moved up half a step, he would become a prefect or a general.
More importantly, Hu Baozong's ability is not outstanding yet, so you can imagine how much effort Hu Hai put in behind the scenes.
But it just so happens that Hu Shiyong, his biological father, is obviously trying to undermine Hu Baozong?
This is not something a human being would do. Even considering the interests of the family, it should never be done.
A father and son are at odds with each other, and brothers are at odds with each other. This is definitely a sign of the demise of the family.
I had only seen it in books and on TV before, and I thought it would only happen to the royal family. Did you ever think that this kind of thing would also happen to aristocratic families?
Li Chengzhi exclaimed in surprise: What a wealth of knowledge!
Poor Hu Baozong, I'm afraid he hasn't reacted yet...
Compared with Hu Shiyong's despicable actions, Guo Cunxin is not very surprised by this kind of thing.
"Whose family doesn't have a few unworthy children? Just like the Zhao Yuan you met before, every family has one or two."
Guo Cunxin sighed, "But the Hu family does have a lot of children, and they are all legitimate sons..."
After listening to what he said, Li Chengzhi realized that Hu Shiyong was the third legitimate son of Hu Hai. He originally had a legitimate brother who died about eight years ago.
It was claimed that he died suddenly, but it was rumored that he was killed by Hu Hai himself. The reason is unknown. But you can imagine that it is nothing more than the dirty and ruinous bullshit of the wealthy family...
Li Chengzhi was stunned and speechless.
No wonder Hu Shiyong even cheated Hu Baozong, so they are from the same origin?
And this Hu Hai, his own son will kill him whenever he says?
Does it feel more ruthless than Lee Si-hyun?
Li Chengzhi shuddered when he thought of his unmasked father. The pity he felt for Hu Baozong was transferred to himself in the blink of an eye...
Guo Cunxin didn't know what he was thinking, and asked suspiciously: "Are you going to let this matter go?"
It means that it is not at all like your behavior of retribution...
Li Chengzhi just remembered and after chatting for a long time, he forgot to talk about the real thing.
He grinned like a toothache: "I can't let it go... When old lady Hu opens her mouth, it's like a thousand catties of real gold and ten thousand acres of mulberry fields... How else do you want me to pursue it?"
Originally he just wanted to knock a bamboo pole, but Hu Hai directly gave him a golden pillar?
So generous that it scares him, so decisive that it frightens him...
"How much?"
Guo Cunxin exclaimed, and instinctively wanted to stand up. But he forgot that he was in a car, and when he was halfway up, he bumped into the roof of the car.
With a loud bang, Guo Cunxin let out a scream, covered his head and fell down.
He didn't know whether it was because he was scared or in pain. He gasped for air and asked in a shocked voice: "How many mulberry fields are you talking about?"
"A whole ten thousand acres, and a thousand catties of real gold!" Li Chengzhi sighed, "I just asked me to put down the thieves before Xi Kangsheng sent troops, and then give half of the credit to Hu Baozong..."
"Hu Hai is crazy. He just suppressed the rebellion and did not destroy the country? Even if his merits were high enough to make him a prince, the court only gave him ten thousand acres of land... Why did he give you so much?"
Guo Cunxin was surprised and doubtful, "Moreover, if the Hu family is exhausted, it will only have more than 10,000 acres of mulberry fields. Can they be willing to give it all away?"
"It's not in the Hu family's name!" Li Chengzhi replied, "According to Hu Hai's opinion, these fields are all in the name of outsiders... Although Hu Hai said that they are not monk fields, I suspect that most of them are dedicated to Zhaoxuan by monks.
Temple, Zhaoxuan Temple bribed the Hu family..."
Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many.
This is not an open field, but a mulberry field. What is the concept of ten thousand acres?
Guo Cun's confidence moved slightly and his eyes flashed: "It would be fine if it was a tribute to the temple. As long as it is not a forced purchase or sale, it doesn't mean there is a problem in its origin.
But if Hu Shichang secretly swallows up the official land, this will not be a benefit, but a disaster..."
The official land that Hu Cishi swallowed up?
It shouldn't be the case. Hu Hai doesn't need to use this method to harm himself.
Because even if the rebellion is suppressed, Hu Shichang will definitely be prosecuted, or at least lose his official position. It is inevitable that the imperial court will send someone to investigate.
If this field is really stolen property, he will naturally become Hu Cishi's accomplice. If he is implicated and questioned, how can Hu Baozong get any credit?
Um, yes, comrades?
Li Chengzhi was shocked.
If you can’t be Hu Cishi’s ally, how can you not be Hu Hai’s ally?
So this is Hu Hai’s intention?
This is to make yourself weigh: if you want these 10,000 acres of land, you are tied to the Hu family. Naturally, both will be prosperous and both will be harmed. If the Hu family falls, Li Chengzhi may have to follow him, let alone meritorious service.
Implicated.
But as long as the rebellion is put down, everyone will naturally be happy. Even if Li Chengzhi doesn't share the credit with Hu Baozong, the Hu family can still get some of the credit...
This is a conspiracy, many times more clever than forcing oneself to get married. Compared with Hu Shiyong, the two fathers and sons are at odds with each other...
More importantly, even if this field is not stolen goods, it is inseparable from Hu Shichang. In the words of later generations, it is a huge amount of property of unknown origin, which is definitely a burden to the Hu family.
Rather than keeping it as a basis for prosecution, it is better to deal with it early...
Li Chengzhi grimaced in excitement and didn't know what to say.
No wonder Hu Hai is so generous?
Do you want it or not?
I didn't want to get too close to the Hu family before because I was afraid that the Hu family would plot against me. They didn't want to spend money or put in any effort, and they wanted to coax me into wiping their butt.
Just like Hu Shiyong.
But Hu Hai is so sincere, why should he be pretentious?
Regardless of personal relations, just to increase the chance of winning, Hu Baozong must be asked to send troops to assist.
The Hu family is not called the number one family member in Jingzhou just for boasting. There are at least thousands of private soldiers in the family.
Coupled with the more than a thousand county soldiers, with a little training, there will be more than 2,000 soldiers. Naturally, Li Chengzhi will not let them go.
It means that you must pay what you should pay, and you will eventually have to share some of the credit that should be paid, so why not take advantage of it?
It’s nothing more than a label of “Hu’s Party” on his forehead.
It may not necessarily be as Yang Shu, Zhang Jingzhi, and Guo Cunxin considered. If they get too close, they will eventually be implicated by Gao Zhao.
These people are a little unfounded and think too far.
The Hu family is the Hu family, and Gao Zhao is Gao Zhao. How can they be confused?
He didn't remember the rest, but he still remembered some of the history of the disintegration of the Wei Dynasty that Empress Dowager Hu had insisted on after the death of the current emperor.
Although there were ups and downs, she and her lover and brother-in-law were mostly tossing each other. One was the daughter of the Hu family, and the other was the son-in-law of the Hu family. Therefore, the Anding Hu family not only did not decline, but its power reached its peak. p>
It's a bit unpleasant to hug someone's thighs in advance, but it can still be done to provide help in times of need.
